Pinsteps. Rumours in Jaffa - Danny's Boufets
Places to visit in Tel Aviv-Yafo. Languages: en

Danny operates two-facing venues specialising in hummus and falafel, offering hummus-filled pitas.

Word has it that Danny, a long-time apprentice of Abu Hassan, began his eateries creating Masabacha, rivalling his mentor's. Danny's Masabacha doesn't quite match Abu Hassan's.

But for those who observe kashrut and don't visit Abu Hassan, it's a chance to savour good humus and falafel in a delightful setting. A distinctive aspect of his hummus eatery is its kashrut certification and unique decor featuring food blessings, saint posters, and an assortment of amulets, adhering to the "if it doesn't help, it doesn't hurt" philosophy.

Hummus and falafel are traditional Middle Eastern dishes with deep historical roots. Hummus, a creamy blend of chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and spices, has been savoured in the region for centuries, originating from ancient Egypt and the Levant, where chickpeas have been cultivated for millennia.

Falafel, conversely, consists of deep-fried balls or patties made from ground chickpeas or fava beans. Its precise origin is contested, with some attributing its invention to Egypt's Copts, while others believe it hails from the Levant. Regardless, it has become a beloved street food in the Middle East and beyond.

These iconic dishes, often served together, symbolise Middle Eastern cuisine and continue to evolve and be celebrated in contemporary times.
